    Meh, it doesn't matter because this guy has to be an alt. In all seriousness, boxing is losing interest in America but that has not changed that America still has more talent than any other nation. I find it crazy that someone would say that the UK has more talent in it than America.

I could name about 10 nations that have more talent right now than the UK.
      Of course leaving out respective populations and interest in the sport in each country.

      But carry on...

                Carl Froch, David Haye, Nathan Cleverly and Amir Khan are the UK's world class fighters. There are some good up and comers like Degale and Kell Brook but they are not world class.

                Steve Cunningham, Eddie Chambers(if he went to cruiser), Travoris Cloud, Chad Dawson, Bernard Hopkins, Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell, Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams, Andre Berto, Floyd Mayweather jr, Tim Bradley, Devon Alexander, Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero, and Brandon Rios are all fighting on the world class stage.

                  Dude, how the hell else do you compare what country is better? Are we judging talent or are we judging per capita? This is the fight game and we are judging whos doing what in the sport.

                    You compare relative to those factors.

                      United States, Ukraine, Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina(maybe), Philippines and arguably Canada if you are just talking about where fighters live. Okay, maybe not 10 but the UK certainly has a lot of catching up to do.
